The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-03-12

in the stock market this week, aud,
while prices were firm throughout
most OF the day, the trading was al.
most entirely professional and, pend
ing the 6nal outcome of the Baltimore
and Ooio deal, operators were wait
ing. There was no news in regard to
II or anything else OF importance to-
day, out rumors in regard to several
properties we're freely circulated. A
revival of the old s;ory OF deal BE-
tween the New York and Nav Eng
land and the New Haven road was Of
fected, aud several other vogue rumors
OF deal of come sort in thu former
property were circulated. The four
or five stoctH which have monopoliz ID
the business for the past week did the
usual proportion OF trading today,
while the remainder, in the general
apathy existing were for the
most part extremely dali and
devoid OF feature. New Eagland aod
Consolidated Gas we're conspicuous
for strength, while the coslers. espe-
cially Lackswsnua and Jersey Can
trial were generally heavy through
out. The rumor was circulated in the
board in the afternoon that the Balti-
more and Ohio deal was of, which led
to some selling in the last hour, hut a
better tons was developed just pre-
vious to the close, when it became
known that an extension of time had
bsen Gran ed to the syndicate. West
ern Union was moderately strong
early in the day, which, in connection
With the advance in American Gable
stock, attracted considerable tention.
LackawanDa vas affected som what
by rumors Of decrease in the divi.
dsud rate, but these met with prompt
denials. Richmond and Wet Point
was the conepicuously weak stock of
the active list, its cetline being in the
lest hour. the opening was tame ald
uninteresiipg, but firm through
out, the advances over last
evenings prices ranging fr7m 1
10 Z per cent. There was an in.
cinstion to heaviness ia TIA early
dealings. But it coon disappeared and
prices wers brought up to a shade
above the opening figures. The market
then became extremely duU, but re.
msiued firm. In the afternoon there
was still lees activity, aud short
period OF hesviness wa, succeeded by
a renewal of the steady ha dening OF
vs,ues. The last hour, no 1ever, wac
marked by renewed activity, acct mpa.
MED by weakness, ard the ear y z Ans
in many cases were completely wiped
out, Richmond and West Point being
mcst noticeable for the decline estab.
lished. Although the m Arket closed
on a rally, it was heavy. Closing
ricss show irregular changes, though
advances are slightly in a msjolity,
aud the only important difference WIS
q decline of II per cent. in Richmond
and West Point. Railroad bonds were
